And if drama series count, I liked the Nodame Cantabile jdrama more than the anime version.

Yay, someone else who has seen that. We rewatch it almost every year.

The fights were good too. The fights were really good.

They were, and also highlighted that beam weapons make a lot of Gundam fight choreography super lazy because everything just dies in one hit or graze, instead of MSes actually taking a beating and being physically damaged.

But IMO, the best part of IBO's fights is that it didn't feel like it had to throw one in every other episode just because people were looking for giant robots shooting each other. Instead, the fights happen when they make sense and would have the most impact.

Second thing first, it's the truth as far as I know. Tekkadan's arc was always planned to be a tragedy. Live by the sword die by the sword and that. Interviews with the producer have said as much, with Okada and the other writers being the ones to argue for a happier ending. (Meanwhile, some other ideas tossed around even considered having Kudelia die too for more tragedy.)

Wark Say posted:

Weird, the way I remember reading about it was that it was one of the producers the one that wanted to go Tomino on the Iron Flower and that Nagai and Okada both had to talk him down.

My issue isn't that those characters didn't die, it's that a show that otherwise didn't pull any punches suddenly and visibly walked back what should have been a bunch of character deaths, going by its own internal logic. If they weren't going to follow through, they should have at least not shown those characters' mechs get trashed like that.

It's a tragedy anyway in the end, and not having it end in s01 made for a more interesting show.

That definitely looks like a sexy party. I see they're not making the mistake of running the full sexy sex anime on broadcast with censoring and instead just making two versions (according to CR).

I've recently been analysing some compilations of cute/hot/sexy anime guys on youtube* and there's definitely some same-face syndrom in all respective subtypes. Like, there's smiling guy, smug guy, expresionless guy, guy in glasses. And the same haircut in 80% of cases. And because majority of shojo is school drama, they usually wear samey clothes too. In shounen etc. artists generally get more creative with designs.

Also, a lot depends on how the dude is framed. That image you posted is just weird. The guy is technically holding the girl but seems completely disinterested in her and instead stares in the viewer's direction like he was trying to find a way out. Or like he was passive-aggressive with the viewer

*yes, I'm procrastinating, why do you ask?

That is the visual representation of an "I love a number of your vague qualities, girl" pop song.

i think we're going to have to pool all our resources into setting up a research fund here. we need to figure out what it is that makes women horny. i'll manage the general finances so everyone can just send their money to me and i'll make sure to contact the nearest scientific experts on the subject and we can get started
